You have forsaken your First Love.
“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Dear brethren, how easy it is to point fingers (Matthew 7:3) continuously to false prophets, apostle and all that, and neglect or forsake our first love and work… I love what our Lord Jesus Christ is saying to us here.” I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.” (Rev. 2.2) He acknowledge that we cannot stand wicked people and those who claim to be apostles and are not! Fine. But let’s examine ourselves, If our new projects is to go chase after those false teachers and apostles’ everywhere, writing always about them, that might be an indication that you have fallen out of your first love and work. Why.. Do you use to love to be in His presence? Or Go out for evangelism by telling people about the love of God? Praying for the ignorant babe and innocent that the false apostles have in their grip? Our Bible Repent therefore. Come back to Jesus! Love and Worship Him. Revelation 2
Our Lord Jesus Christ is not against our been against these wicked one. But we should NOT forsake our first love because of some fornicating false ministers ! or magicians out there in the church. If you have found yourself in these snare, Our Lord Jesus is telling you today to repent, List He take your Church, your Lampstand away from you!
The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches (Revelation 1:20)
Prayer and Confession:
Father in name of Jesus, I thank you for the Spirit of Revelation and Wisdom and the Knowledge of You, Thank You Father for enlighten the eyes of my understanding! I ask for Your Mercy, Forgive me for forsaken and neglecting my first Love! Thank you Lord Jesus for your unfailing love for me, Make me free from every time wasting and unfruitful projects and Father , For this reason I kneel before You, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen my brothers and sisters with power through Your Spirit in their inner being, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith. And I pray that they being rooted and established in Your love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that they may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to You oh Lord who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within us, to You my Lord be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3 NIV)
